| Undervisnings- form: |
The course comprises three parts: 1) teaching of theory and methodology, (block 4); 2) 10 days fieldwork and 3) processing of data and writing of report (block 1). |
| Indhold: |
The fieldwork part of the course will be held in west Greenland and will cover igneous and metamorphic petrological and geophysical investigations of Tertiary, mainly volcanic rocks and their Proterozoic metamorphic basement complex aimed at understanding the emplacement of igneous rocks in a Large Igneous Province. Furthermore, geophysical investigations measurements will be conducted on recently deposited sediments near the coast with the aim of collecting data that may ultimately be used for understanding the formation of the sediments in response to wave action and sea level. Investigations in the field will be interspersed with excursions to localities relevant to understanding the volcanic development of the province. |
| Kompetence- beskrivelse: |
The fundamental goal of the course is to enable the student to independently organize and carry out large-scale geological and geophysical fieldwork and to be able to analyze, evaluate, document and communicate the results of a scientific study. The course is designed as preparation for a Master’s thesis and therefore takes place during Master’s courses and prior to carrying out a Master’s thesis. The methods to be covered are considered to have a broad application in both research- and survey-related fields, in particular regarding geological and geophysical field methods in hard rock terrains and coastal deposits. |
| Målbeskrivelse: |
The academic goals of the course are that the student:
• Can identify, propose and prepare suggestions for solving more complex scientific problems in relation to theoretical, methodological and empirical observations with a background in high-level geological knowledge.
• Can critically evaluate a choice of methods as well as propose procedures aimed at investigating and assessing the accuracy and possible sources of error of a method.
• Can evaluate the suitability of a specific method for investigating a scientific problem, e.g. through use of statistical analysis of data.
• Can compile results from several, and preferentially different, methods and apply these in to specific discussion and evaluation of their own results.
• Can use scientifically-correct language, present scientific arguments and justifications, participate in scientific discussions as well as communication science at various levels.
• Can integrate, evaluate, discuss and put into perspective, theoretical, methodological and empirical choices including exhibiting a reflective and critical sense for these choices together with their scientific possibilities and limitations in relationship to a specific scientific problem.

| Bemærkninger: |
The time period for the fieldwork has not been decided upon.
There is room for 16 students on the course. If there are more students applying for the course, places will be prioritized based on the following criteria:
1) Students enrolled in the M.Sc. programme in Geology-Geoscience who have followed the competence course ‘Core to crust - Earth´s evolution and processes’ or ‘Geophysics - Global seismology and potential fields’
2) Students enrolled in the M.Sc. programme in Geology-Geoscience with a signed Master’s thesis contract. Those applicants with the most passed ECTS points at the time of application will be prioritized highest.
3) Other students enrolled in the M.Sc. programme in Geology-Geoscience
4) Students enrolled in the B.Sc. programme in Geology-Geoscience will be considered if there are open places; provided a motivated application and attached academic record can establish that they will have completed their Bachelor’s programme by the start of the course. Those applicants with the most passed ECTS points at the time of application will be prioritized highest.
5) Other students.
